I’ve had 2 times on my bike in my neighborhood someone passing me slow 18ish I didn’t realize until they were in my peripheral, it was not a near hit or anything close but I would have heard a gas car a lot sooner and it just was something made me jump a bit and is etched into my memory. On the other side of things I’ve also had 2 or 3 times I’ve had someone surprised at my bolt moving through a parking lot. No one in my neighborhood owned an ev until last year and I’ve only had mine 2 months. So it’s a little concerning to me having all this in that short of a time, my kids drive the bolt too and I try and remind them often.

Weird no one but you and me noticed this op. Possibly it’s because redditors are absolutely tribal dishonest people who make their consumption part of their identity and will completely lie to you when it seems it will gain a point for their side or make them feel better about their own decisions. (I would not trust redditors as a whole for anything except a few things that would get you thrown in prison)

I’ve heard something one time in relation to something else not-EV but I think it fits here: The doggy door would sorta “show intent” to your insurance company that you wanted to simplify your regular sidestepping of electric code rules, you’ve officially made it part of your life.

I’m not saying it’s real inherently dangerous if you’re mindful (not an electrician) it’s just something like that would make me nervous if had a new electric shaver catch fire 4 rooms away and my insurance sees the doggy door, “he’s some diy cowboy, probably rewired that shaver too”
